Some collect beanie babies.
That's all well and good but I am a more rational collector. I collect things that I can use.
Among these collections of mine you will find a small one of cameras.
I have returned recently to this collection after laying off it for a number of years. I've been placing bids on eBay on some expensive ones and some not so expensive ones.
For the most part I've been bidding early and somewhat low on the expensive old cameras. In one auction my bid was exceeded by over seven hundred dollars!
Well last Saturday I saw one I thought I would like and partly in response to my pain over losing my little dog and partly because I would not be online when the auction ended, I posted a very competitive bid, turned off the PC and went to my brothers house to watch the OSU-Michigan game.
When I got home I found out that I had won the camera!
Now what makes this story interesting is that a few days later the last bid I had on another similar camera went unchallenged and I won it too!
So now I have two similar cameras when I would have been perfectly happy with one. Well that's alright, after all, I am a collector.
